Summary of Case:	"Harry Joseph Cohen was wrongly convicted of forgery in Harris County, Texas. Cohen's prosecution was based on the testimony of the complainant. Cohen was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment. After Cohen was convicted he learned that the prosecution had failed to disclose exculpatory impeachment evidence undermining the credibility of the complainant. Cohen filed a writ of habeas corpus. On September 16, 2015 the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted Cohen's habeas corpus writ and set-aside his conviction based on the "impeachment evidence that was material, and it could have made the difference between conviction and acquittal.""
